Re: [basex-talk] Load xml files to BaseX in a loop

Hi Nicholas,

If I run replace.xq, shown below, it fails with Out of Main Memory

as you already experienced in your tests, the replace command takes less memory than the db:replace() function, as the second one will first cache all update operations on the Pending Update List [1] before actually executing them.

The only idea I have is to use xquery to generate the file replace.bxs and then run it.

This is indeed a popular approach. If all of your files are stored in a single directory, you could as well try to delete your documents and add all files via a single db:add call: db:delete("database"), db:add("database", "/path/to/dir") Hope this helps, Christian [1] http://docs.basex.org/wiki/XQuery_Update#Pending_Update_List
